I would like to get other oppinions on this matter..
Because this made me just wave Bye-Bye to ED for a long time..
-------------------------------------------------
Its quite a long story... ^^
-------------------------------------------------
What happened:
So, i wanted a break from the usual and was going to try passengers for a change.
I took on 2 missions from my favorite station:
- 1 Guy wanted to go to a nebula some 30.000 Ly away.. (To !!obtain!! sensitive data)
- A Couple wanted to see something rougly 75% along the way. (Sight seeing)
Combined trip of 34.244,80 Ly (And ofc another 34.244,80 to get back)
Payout: ~79 million combined..
(Not even that much for the time spend, but i wanted to try it anyways..)
So i thought.. Well, lets hop into my 47Ly jump-range annie.. Lets give this a shot.
I outfitted her for exploration and was on my way.
It took only 2 minutes for sh♥t to hit the fan..............
The moment i left the godammed station, i was scanned by the police.
Well no biggy you would say, neither of my passengers had their "Scan" data yet..
But noooooo.... they instandly went from happy to misarible.. (DAFUQ...)
Ok... I ignored the whining baby's in the cabin and started my trip anyways.
After MANY MANY hours of jumping from system to system, i finally managed to reach the scanning site of the first guy.
That means i just completed ~31.000Ly, and still had arround 97% hull remaining..
(I hate those tiny neutron stars.. I always get to close and get emergency dropped out of SC..)
But anyways, I started the descend towards the planet surface, all went smooth..
Dropping out of orbital into glide, all was still good...
But then after completing the glide, Annie descided it was not yet time to stop..
Slammed her belly right into the planet due too high gravity, BAMM!! shields + 53% hull gone...
That was actually the moment i thought F♥♥♥, that has to a mission failed...
But no, the passengers didnt even flinch..
Ok.. I managed to Stabelized the beast (Vertical thrusters were almost useless), scanned the beacon and got the hell of the planet.
Jump... Jump... Jump... minlessly back towards the second destination. (Dont get me wrong, I was still enjoying the experience!)
Roughly 120 jumps back where i came from i met yet another neutron star that i decided to get too close to when leveling off to drop into the wake, EMERGENCY STOP......... (F♥♥♥ ME)...
It took my hull down to from 47% to 44%.....
INCOMMING MESSAGE, MISSION FAILED 2X...
Wait..... WHAT?!.. I just wasted HOURS of my life to get here (Even "Completed" the first objective)...
And now I have to waste HOURS to get back to the bubble?!... (Im still +24.000Ly away from it..)
And the only thing it will bring me is a massive repair bill...
Yea... I dropped my controller right there!
Said "you know what, that does it!!"... F♥♥♥ THIS S♥♥♥..
Uninstalled, and launched Rocket League!

I dont about you commanders...
But is this really wanted gameplay?!...
Please share your oppinion
